Testing and Tagging for Offices
It may feel like a colossal task to have someone come in and do absolutely every appliance in your office all at once. Like any large task, it takes coordination and experience to make sure that it is completed quickly and efficiently with minimal disturbance to your normal workflow.
Whether it be coming in after-hours to make sure that your server or communication equipment is not shut down during business hours, or simply making sure that your tester and tagger is friendly and polite, Asset Test & Tag has you covered.
We pride ourselves on being Adelaide’s all-round friendliest test and tag company.

We also understand that there is often a higher degree of privacy needed within your practice, which is why we offer an out-of-hours service. By being available outside of standard business hours, we know that we can be as least disruptive as physically possible.

Why Electrical Testing & Tagging Is Essential
Electrical equipment failures can have a major impact on the day-to-day running of any organisation. A faulty piece of electrical equipment can cause major disruption and potentially lead to serious injury or fatality. The risk of not remaining compliant is significant, yet day in day out we see small businesses deciding to run the gauntlet and not test. We see this as reckless from a health and safety standpoint, but also from a business continuity standpoint. If you defer your test and tag in order to save budget, the impact of either an accident or an audit will far outweigh any benefits.
Ensuring that your entire place of business is using properly functioning electrical equipment is a necessity, not a pleasant one to deal with, but a necessary one nonetheless.
Whether maintaining compliance needs to be disruptive and wasteful is entirely up to you. If you chase the lowest price, then you often get what you pay for, where your disruption level will likely increase. We may not be the cheapest, but we are and always have been one of the least disruptive services in Adelaide!
Is Electrical Testing & Tagging Really Necessary?
Electrical compliance is a legal requirement for most businesses in South Australia, and not something you can afford to overlook.
If you’re thinking that this might not apply to your business, stop and consider that legislators designed electrical compliance to help protect you and the people who work in your business. By making sure that all installed equipment has been deemed safe for use, it protects other people who are accessing your property from potential harm.

How We Carry Out Our Process
When you book us in, we will review your total tag count and then devise the least disruptive testing strategy and workflow.
Our friendly and efficient staff are always happy to work around your business needs.
What We Will Need From You
Whenever we need to enter the property, we take all necessary safety precautions and always keep you informed of our progress.
We will only ever ask for access to your building during times that suit you, and we’ll provide you with an advanced notice of our arrival so that we won’t catch you off-guard. We’re also happy to negotiate to work on weekends if necessary.
Prior to arrival on site, we’ll need access to all areas where electrical equipment is located.
What We Check In Your Portable Electrical Equipment
We’ll always check your equipment for:
- Electrical safety and functionality
- Physical damage to cords, plugs, and equipment
- Proper earthing and insulation
- Compliance with Australian standards
We also test and tag your fixed RCD’s (safety switches) such as those installed in your switchboards or sometimes on a PowerPoint. Our tester applies a test fault to the RCD and measure the time in milliseconds it takes to trip the RCD.
We also can do minor repairs to make an appliance safe such as replacing a lead on a hand tool, replacing a plug or socket on a lead. We also carry a variety of common spares so we can often replace a faulty item so the impact on the business is minimized.
If we find unsafe or dangerous condition we cannot repair the item has a ‘Danger Do Not Use’ Tag applied to the lead and the responsible person is notified of the item and fault.
Once we finish carrying out the inspection, we’ll be able to provide you with a detailed report of our findings.
How Long It Will Usually Take Us To Finish The Procedure
Normally we will be able to provide you with an estimate of how long we will be on site when we book in the service.
As every business is unique, there is no one answer for this question.
Testing and tagging each piece of equipment takes only a few minutes, a workstation with a computer, two monitors and a printer make take 10 – 15 minutes, however every situation is different, so this can only be used as a guide.
Once we’ve finished all testing and remediation, things are put back where we found them. Computers and Printers are started to make sure they are ready for use.
How Often Should You Have Your Equipment Tested & Tagged?
It’s important that your business complies with the Standard, which stipulate that inspection of the portable electrical equipment and fixed RCD’s as per the testing period table, you can see our resource here.
